React Native Style
This is an Example to Align a View at the Bottom of Screen in React Native. To do this we will use the Stylesheet element position: 'absolute'
.
Align a View at the Bottom Using
bottomView: {
width: '100%',
height: 50,
backgroundColor: '#EE5407',
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
position: 'absolute', //Here is the trick
bottom: 0, //Here is the trick
}
Let’s get started with the example.
To Make a React Native App
Getting started with React Native will help you to know more about the way you can make a React Native project. We are going to use react-native init to make our React Native App. Assuming that you have node installed, you can use npm to install the react-native-cli
command line utility. Open the terminal and go to the workspace and run
npm install -g react-native-cli
Run the following commands to create a new React Native project
react-native init ProjectName
If you want to start a new project with a specific React Native version, you can use the --version argument:
react-native init ProjectName --version X.XX.X
react-native init ProjectName --version react-native@next
This will make a project structure with an index file named App.js in your project directory.
Code
Open App.js in any code editor and replace the code with the following code
App.js
//Align a View at the Bottom of Screen
//https://aboutreact.com/example-to-align-a-view-at-the-bottom-of-screen-in-react-native/
//import React in our code
import React from 'react';
//import all the components we are going to use
import {SafeAreaView, StyleSheet, View, Text} from 'react-native';
const App = () => {
return (
<SafeAreaView style={{flex: 1}}>
<View style={styles.containerMain}>
<Text> Main Content Here</Text>
<View style={styles.bottomView}>
<Text style={styles.textStyle}>Bottom View</Text>
</View>
</View>
</SafeAreaView>
);
};
const styles = StyleSheet.create({
containerMain: {
flex: 1,
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center',
},
bottomView: {
width: '100%',
height: 50,
backgroundColor: '#EE5407',
justifyContent: 'center',
alignItems: 'center',
position: 'absolute', //Here is the trick
bottom: 0, //Here is the trick
},
textStyle: {
color: '#fff',
fontSize: 18,
},
});
export default App;
To Run the React Native App
Open the terminal again and jump into your project using.
cd ProjectName
To run the project on an Android Virtual Device or on real debugging device
react-native run-android
or on the iOS Simulator by running (macOS only)
react-native run-ios
